Actually, we do not expect that it won't input NULL. IIUC all of slots have
slot_name, and subquery uses its name. But will it be kept forever? I think we
can avoid any risk.

Hmm. I checked the C99 specification [1] of strcmp, but it does not define the
case when the NULL is input. So it depends implementation.
